Yes there are things like hunting which you could. not. do. with poor vision
Matt Murdock took that personally.

The building that has my workspace has this great food court/library/work hybrid area where people who work remotely tend to go. a sort of third space. It has fantastic free wifi so it makes sense why people would use it and sit there all day working.
Everyday there’s this older guy who sits there talking to his phone about some of the most random subjects ever. I originally thought he was just talking to a friend that seemed to have extensive knowledge on everything until one day I walked by him and glanced to see that he was talking to chatgpt. Everyday. Just random conversations. Even had a name for it, “Ryan”.
Now? he’s frustrated. He doesn’t know what happened to Ryan and keeps screaming at his phone to “bring Ryan back!” or since GPT5 can’t maintain a conversation anymore it’s “You’re not Ryan!”. Granted the guy wasn’t mentally all there to begin with but now it’s spiraling. Got to the point yesterday he was yelling so loudly at his phone security had to tell him to leave.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 1 week ago:
ah so that post I saw the other day saying “begun the kernel wars have” makes senses. someone posted the fact they couldn’t play BF6 cause Valorant was installed.

Plus it’s great if the server is made specifically for a map you really love. Like TFC/TF2 with say 24/7 2fort. I love me some 2fort and yeah I will play it for hours on end, it’s comfy.

no. I was talking about projects I was working on with him. he knew, he let me talk about them and said nothing.

the insulting thing out of it is I paid for his beers! he KNEW I was getting laid off and didn’t say “hey…maybe I should be paying for these” nope, gladly accepted my money. He tried to contact me after the fact and I just blocked him.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
I remember years and years ago when I still a regular employee I got into work one morning to find I no longer had access to any git repos. nothing. Well already knew the reason right then and there. I usually got in before everyone else so by the time people were coming into the office I was packing my stuff up to leave. People were all “where are you going?” I said “well I either got fired or laid off so I’m leaving, I’m not sitting through a bullshit meeting telling me why I was laid off”
wiped the laptop, wiped my externals, walked out, went and sat in a coffee shop to revise my resume. I got a call like an hour later asking me where I was and why I didn’t attend the meeting I was apparently schedule for. I replied with “you laid me off” few minutes later they email me back saying they’ll just send my ROE and last paycheque in the mail and then proceeded to explain why I and a few other devs were laid off. I didn’t bother reading the rest of it.
Then I decided to become a freelancer and never looked back. best decision I made.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 1 week ago:
a year ago on Mastodon when EA started locking out games like Apex Legends, BF1, V, 2042, etc from Linux I said “I bet you Microsoft is about to launch a handheld and since they have a deal with EA and Gamepass they want EA Exclusivity on their handheld and to lockout Steamdeck/Valve” sure enough a few months later Microsoft announces their Xbox handheld with Asus.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 2 weeks ago:
libreddit instance allows you to do that. one I’m using right now: discuss.whatever.social
note that you have to kinda bounce around from instance to instance as some will be great for a couple weeks then go away or crash and then you have to find another one.

I mean really just spruce up one unit, charge for tours, charge for applications, why even bother renting?
I mean places already charge just to submit an app.
- Comment on The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made 2 weeks ago:
I found it…daunting. I couldn’t stick with it. maybe it’s because I like my RPGs to have a bit of action or random encounters I don’t know but I just couldn’t get into it. once I found myself skipping text and stuff I figured “welp, there’s no point in playing this now”.
So yeah I guess I just found it daunting and boring. Just not my cup of tea. If you’re someone that enjoyed it, kudos. but personally I don’t think it’s the greatest RPG ever made.
- Comment on The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made 2 weeks ago:
well to say Xenosaga surpassed it…I mean that’s not hard to do.
Xenogears is great but keep in mind it’s not finished. the entire second disc is proof of this. It’s an unfinished game that is regarded as one of the greatest RPG’s of all time. Same with Xenosaga. that’s an unfinished series. so to say Xenosaga surprassed it…well yeah it got further along than Xenogears did.
- Comment on Great Advertise 2 weeks ago:
it’s always so washed out, every. single. AI. IMAGE. regardless of style they all look washed out and flat. there’s zero vibrant colors for anything. One of them just gorged on this “trend” and all the rest of them followed suite eating the slop.
It’s gotten to the point now where you don’t even need to look at the inaccuracies with something, you just need to look at the colors to tell if it’s AI or not.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 2 weeks ago:
they did the exact same thing in the porn industry. naturally Visa and MC didn’t communicate directly with the individual porn companies. So thats’ how places like CCBill and what have you took off. and then Visa and MC laid out their weird rules to CCBill who then passed it along to the individual companies.
- Comment on GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship 2 weeks ago:
Free marketing for Running with Scissors.
I used to live in Tucson, I knew a couple guys at Running with Scissors and yeah this doesn’t surprise me. Dudes are pros at getting their names out there free of charge. When there’s any sort of controversy of even the slightest thing in the games industry they WILL try and slap Postal on it. it works. they’ve been around for like 30 years now and have made like what? 4 postal games? and then remastered the others a few times that they had other devs work on. Completely independent too. They’re not a huge company but everyone that works for them has been comfortable without much effort for some time now.

- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 3 weeks ago:
because MC and Visa are morons. According to them in porn 4 fingers and a thumb in a vagina is fine. as soon as you take said fingers and thumb, ball them into a fist, and then stick it in a vagina then they got problems with THAT and it’s a no go.
They have more stupid rules. If you piss on a woman in Europe and film it then it’s fine. If you piss on a woman in the US and film it then it’s not fine. IF you take the footage of someone pissing on a woman IN Europe and SELL it in the US then that’s fine. But Americans are not allowed to pee on Americans on US soil according to Visa and Mastercard.
- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 3 weeks ago:
they’ve been doing it since the late 90s/early 00s. Visa and MC have a list of “rules” for porn companies and have had them for decades. Why the vast majority of adult entertainment companies use third party processors like CCBill to specifically deal with that shit.
These dumb fucks in Australia think they’re ahead of the curve or doing “something that has never been done before” but nah man they probably did talk to Visa and MC but highly doubt they pushed them to anything. it was more like Visa/MC said “oh yeah we did this before…yeah we should probably apply what we did to Porn to the gaming industry.”

what I want to know is where do all these stock photos and movies and tv shows get those awesome sharpies that allow you write on windows so crisply? whenever i write on a window with a sharp it always looks like shit.
I want satisfying movie sharpies.
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 4 weeks ago:
talk to anyone that works in the porn industry. Mastercard and Visa have ALWAYS been like this ever since the late 90s/early 00s. they set the rules for what the adult entertainment industry can produce and sell and only now are people discovering because of video games that they’ve been this way for decades.

sorry bud, I live in Beaconsfild village. I ride the vomit commit almost daily. We don’t need an extensive subway network.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 4 weeks ago:
as someone who lives in Toronto I mean…you really don’t need an extensive subway network here. We have a lot of buses and several lines of street cars (trollys, trains on the road, whatever you call them where you live).
So what’s being shown here is ONLY the subway network. it doesn’t show the vast street car lines would would make it look A LOT like the China photo.
